I am playing the abridged version of the Schumann Davidsbündlertänze recorded by Fanny Davies. We know for a fact that Clara never played no.7, for instance, in public, as it must have meant a lot to her. Hence, Fanny did not record it either. I haven't yet gotten to the bottom of why she omitted the other 3 dances, and probably never will, however, as this is a reconstruction program, I thought I ought to be faithful to Fanny Davies's rendition of it. 

Hence the following dances are omitted:
Heft I:     3 - Mit Humor    7 - Nicht Schnell
Heft II:    15 - Frisch    16 - Mit gutem Humor
